Math versus Science

Tonight the MMUHS Math Department challenged the Science Department at bowling. There was a huge turnout- 35 people, including all the spouses and children, 31 of whom bowled (including Elijah).

SpareTime Bowling (near CostCo, formerly Yankee Lanes) is well equipped for family bowling. You can even program automated bumpers to come out when a child's turn comes up.

Here are some pictures of Elijah, enjoying his first ever night at the lanes:

It took him a while to understand that you only bowl two balls and then have to wait for your next turn to come around. With 6 people on a team, that "next turn" took a while to come back up. But mostly, he was a very good boy, keeping the crowds entertained with his "victory dance" no matter how many (if any) pins he knocked down. Towards the middle of the evening, we took a quick cake break to honor our friend Dan's 50th birthday. Then right before leaving, we got one quick group shot of the folks who were still around. Some of the folks with the littlest kids had already left by this point.

I never knew we could bowl with a 2-year-old, but it was really fun. Crazy as the night was, trying to visit with everyone while keeping tabs on Elijah, we had a blast. Ed bowled well both games, and I barely beat Elijah the first game. But then in a bizarre twist of fate, I actually bowled the highest score of my life the second game...can you guess from this picture which one that was?
